Every society is held together by anchors — the principles, loyalties, and duties that keep people bound to something greater than themselves. Duty. Sacrifice. Order. Faith. Identity. Power. These are not abstract ideals. They are the lines people hold when everything else pulls the other way.
Anchor Press publishes stories about what happens when those lines go taut. Characters called to things they didn't choose. Journeys taken in spite of fear. The weight of what it means to hold fast — and what it costs when you do.
The Gentleman's Shanty
When the Sea Wizard calls to Jesse in his dreams, he doesn't want to go. He will, of course. Just… he'd rather not. He'd rather not tell his mother that he has to leave — just like his father did. Or tell his fiancée that he's being sent to find a woman he's never met. But faith won't change his destiny — only secure it.
